Abstract

Abstract: Oil and gas enterprises face greater risks and challenges in ensuring national energy security associated with the deterioration of domestic oil and gas resources, greater difficulty in increasing reserves and production, continuously higher technical requirements, and constantly increasing development costs. In this context, the development practice of oil and gas fields in China over the past century is systematically reviewed, and the trends and composition of oil and gas reserves and production since the founding of the People’s Republic of China are analyzed in detail, which enable to reclassify the stage of oil and gas field development. Based on resource types of continental, marine, low-permeability, offshore, and shale oil and gas, oil and gas field development theory and technology are deeply summarized. Furthermore, the targeted countermeasures and suggestions are proposed by focusing on the challenges faced by the development of oil and gas industry at present, such as the extremely great difficulty in the innovation of exploration and development theories, demands for further improving the adaptability of unconventional oil and gas exploration and development technologies, high cost of oil and gas development, and the more significant contradiction between resource exploration and development and land lease and environmental protection. Combined with the new development situation, the study proposes that transforming towards intelligence is the fundamental path for the development of oil and gas enterprises, unconventional oil and gas development will occupy a major position in domestic oil and gas development, and green and low-carbon transformation is the inevitable trend for the sustainable development of oil and gas enterprises.

Key words: oil and gas field, theory, technology, surface engineering, development, practice, challenge
